2. одружуватися is a generic term denoting 'to get married'; there are, traditionally, specific terms for men and women: женитися - for a man (a literal translation might be 'to wive'); виходити заміж (to go out following one's husband) for a woman; this last refers to the fact that the bride would usually leave her parents' home and go to live with her husband's parents.
